The Shakespeare's Head

A tradtionnal pub tucked in just behind the Sadlers Wells . While the choice of drinks lacks of trendy alternative, best spot to meet artists after their show!Order your interval drinks there

If you fast-forward to minute 39 of our video about Islington, we show you inside the Shakespeare's Head and interview the lovely owner. A great place. <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnspx-x0HJA"target="_blank" data-sig="QHGNyEWYkW81GKvVaUv5ruBdzo8=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnspx-x0HJA</a>

A nice quiet local with a lovely leafy beer garden out the back. Great for a midsummer's eve.

Relaxed, not too busy, nice beer garden area. Perfect for a catch up.

Would we recommend it? Nah. There's other places to enjoy. Shame really. Great staff but a miserable manager who doesn't like fun. Especially when he realises he's not "the only one in the village "

Does what it says on the tin. Great garden for afternoon with the papers.

Recently selected by @thisisdare as their local pub .

Looks nasty from the outside, but that belies a smashing local pub on the inside. There's a decent sized beer garden out back, too. A rare thing in Zone 1.

Great atmosphere!

Great pub , even better in the beer garden .
